August 28 marked a unique anniversary for Craig Mosher,president of Mosher Excavating Inc. — the tempest thatcaused his worst nightmare and, perhaps,his finest hour.Mosher, who has built many a road over
the last 33 years throughout the mountainsand backwoods of Vermont, was one ofthe first to act a year ago when HurricaneIrene wiped many of them out, along withparts of major highways Route 4 andRoute 9, Route 100, 100A and others.Mosher Excavating, along with The
Casella Brothers, Belden Company,Markowski Excavating, Wilk Paving,Albon Construction and Ray Harvey,among others, took matters into their ownhands, pulling their heavy machinery outof the muck, mud and mire and clearingconcrete rubble for days straight, until the
highways and many connecting roads were passable again.His singular efforts helped trapped guests in Killington get
home, from what had become a kind of mountain island, sur-rounded by walls of water. No one in the state had ever seenanything like it.
Praised by the GovernorMosher Excavating and fellow emer-
gency contractors were lauded earlier thisyear in Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin’sState of the State Address.“With Route 4 shut down, and commu-
nity after community [becoming] isolatedislands where roads and bridges onceserved, brothers John and Doug Casellahad an idea. Doug said, ‘Governor, you getthe Department of Motor Vehicles to liftthe ban on hauling heavy equipmentacross what’s left of our roads and get uspermission to retrieve some of the rockand gravel that Irene washed from our

M&M Transport Gets Bigger Contracts With Mack Trucks
Mark Warsofsky likes to create good news. The man who began his trucking career as a driver for the
Boston Globe has built M&M Transport Services of Quincy,Mass., into a regional powerhouse with more than 350power units, 1,100 trailers and 485 employees.He and his staff have done that through a combination of
superior management, great employees and spec’ing the
right equipment.“One of our keys to success is great customer service,”
Warsofsky said. “We are heavily focused on technology. Ourdispatch system is state of the art. All of our trucks haveonboard computers and all drivers are on e-logs. We installGPS tracking on all of the trailers. We’re also starting to putautomatic transmissions and the latest driver comfort
upgrades in all of the trucks. With newer equipment we don’thave as many breakdowns so our on-time performance iswell into the 98.5 to 99.5 percent range.”Warsofsky discovered that newer equipment from Mack
Trucks Inc. attracts bigger contracts as well as better drivers.“We recently won a five-year dedicated contract worth in
excess of $50 million,” he said. “We went up against biggercarriers. At the end of the day we offered the customer quick-er decision-making, better customer service and the newesttechnology.”Enter Mack and McDevitt Trucks of Manchester, N.H.,
where GM Joe McQuaid and sales representative ShawnRainsford brokered a deal for 150 Mack Pinnacle models.The line is split between tractors with 415-hp MP8 enginesand a mix of sleeper and day cabs running 365-hp MP7engines with 10-speed transmissions. M&M also hasordered several tandem-axle day cabs with 395-hp MP7engines.Two of the rigs feature Mack’s new mDRIVE 12-speed
automated manual transmission, with another 10 on the way.The orders are in addition to the company’s fleet of 250Pinnacle models.“Right now we’re having excellent luck with the two
mDRIVE vehicles. There’s less wear and tear on the othercomponents. We’re seeing a lot fewer drivetrain issues.We’re getting more miles out of our brake shoes. We feel thedriver is more productive and less fatigued when he gets tohis stop. The drivers love the trucks and it should increase thevehicles’ resale value.”While equipment is vital to the company’s success, M&M
believes that drivers are the biggest factor.“Being a former driver who still maintains his CDL, I
remain focused on the drivers,” Warsofsky said. “When Ivisit facilities I make a point of introducing myself to thedrivers and mechanics in the shop.” That hands-on approach has contributed to success as
much as the new rigs. “What makes me extremely proud is that there is virtual-
ly no turnover in management and less than 10 percent annu-ally with the drivers.”That’s the kind of news Mark Warsofsky likes.

roads into our streams, and we’ll partner with other privatecontractors like Belden Company, Markowski Excavating,Mosher Excavating, Wilk Paving, the Agency ofTransportation and the National Guard. We can have Route4 open in three weeks.’”“As soon as I got high enough in the chopper to actually
have cell service in Vermont, I called Secretary Searles,Secretary Markowitz and Commissioner Ide, and withinhours, our team applied Doug’s request, not just to Rutland,but to the whole state of Vermont. And guess what? Ninedays later, Route 9 from Brattleboro to Wilmington toBennington: Open. 18 days later, Route 4 from Woodstockto Rutland: Open. And today, all the roads destroyed byIrene: Open!“Team Casella, Belden, Wilk, Mosher, Markowski are
here today, and I would ask you to please stand. You repre-sent the many Vermont construction companies who, alongwith A.O.T., the Vermont National Guard and Guard troopsfrom around the country rebuilt us Vermont Strong, andVermont honors you today,” said Gov. Shumlin.
Dangerous Ski Trail WorkSince 1979, Mosher Excavating Inc. has built and rebuilt
in and around Killington. Clearing stone, lumber and dirt inthe tricky mountains of Vermont is nothing new to Mosher.He got his start building steep ski trails all over New
England, from Maine to New York.“We did everything from clearing, cutting trees to agricul-
tural, the entire construction of the trail,” said Mosher.Killington, Vt., is a resort town, known for ski lodges and
winter fun. “I got into building ski trails when it was a boom. Timing
is everything,” added Mosher. “But, when the economy goesbad, resort areas are the first to feel it because of secondhomes and recreational spending. We are also the last ones tocome around when the recovery starts.”He turned to community building in 1997, developing
sites, installing sewer and water systems, building homes,retaining walls, access roads. In the process, the Vermontcommunity got to know Mosher and his team of eight ascontractors you could really count on.Unlike most builders who have three decades of work
under their tool belts, Mosher did not learn at the knee of hisgrandfather or father. “My family is not in the excavation business,” he laughed.
“Summers, when I was going to school, I worked for thelocal towns, on their machinery. I found a niche and liked thework.“In the early 70s, I worked for a local contractor, Jim
Felton, a great guy who has passed away,” said Mosher.“Then, a local ski instructor came into some money and hewanted to get into the excavating business. I joined in on ajob, and it set.”Mosher built a solid reputation while doing ski area work,
having little fear of heights and the treacherous dangers ofheavily wooded mountains.“We were known for doing the ski work, the steep work,
out of winches, dropped in by helicopters,” he added of tightpinches in those winches. “You couldn’t drive to those sites.You were in a cable box, tethered off. You climbed up a loton foot. You’d drive Flex trucks up hill.“You’d get hay, grade the land, hay it down. It was like
putting in a lawn. You’d stump it [remove stumps] and gradeit over, seed and mulch it. If you could use a minimum
amount of snow to cover a trail, you were a big hero,” addedMosher. “It cost money to make snow.”Amazingly, suspended in the thin air over brutal terrain,
no one working with Mosher was ever hurt.“We were fortunate,” he said. “We never had an accident.
We’d have an anchor tractor on top to pull you up. You hadto use a lot of common sense.”At the time, Mosher added, there were only two contrac-
tors in New England doing this kind of work. “It was tough work. There was more money to be made
putting sewer lines and condos in Ludlow and Killington,”said Mosher. “But we had a niche and it worked for usthrough 1997.”
Hurricane IreneJob after job followed for the next 15 years, until
Hurricane Irene hit. Mosher said he was in the right place atthe right time, to help. “Like anything else, it was ‘location,’” he added.On Aug. 28, 12 in. of rain from the Hurricane filled the
main rivers in the area to overflowing — the Ottauquechee,the Black and White Rivers — and pieces of towns likeWoodstock, Quechee, Rochester, Killington and many morein their path, were literally washed downstream. Woodenbridges, concrete structures, asphalt roads, were crushed andripped apart.“I was talking to the Town Manager of Woodstock.
Things seemed normal, but with all the rainfall uphill, itbecame a wall of water and it took towns like that by surprisewhen it came upstream,” said Mosher. When the Casella brothers got the state to allow private
contractors in the area to act immediately, they did.“We’re a small contractor, trying to do the right thing,”
Business Flourished With Ski Trail Building in Late ‘70s
Mosher Excavating, along with The Casella Brothers, Belden Company, Markowski Excavating, Wilk Paving,Albon Construction and Ray Harvey, among others, pulled their heavy machinery out of the muck, mud and mire
and cleared concrete rubble for days straight, until thehighways and many connecting roads were passableagain.
Five acres of Mosher’s own pasture were washed out during the storm by the Ottauquechee, shown heresurrounding the area in and around the pasture.

The story of W.L. French ExcavatingCorporation began with a driven, hard-work-ing, honest young man who today has grownhis company into one of the most trusted inthe Boston area, one that has grown toinclude 100 employees and has annual rev-enues that approach $40 million. Wanting to be independent of having to
work for someone else, eighteen-year-oldBill French Sr., of Belmont, Mass., foundedW.L. French in May of 1972. He purchasedhis first truck — a 1972 B81 from James W.Flett, an established excavating companywhere Bill had his first job. The odds wereagainst him — a teenage trucker, marriedwith a child at home, working long hardhours for many years just to earn a decentliving and establish a reputation for his fam-ily and his business.
From One Truck to $40 millionGrowth was steady. French’s reputation
grew, as did his list of clients. Over the years
he became a “go-to” guy. Now headquar-tered in North Billerica, Mass., W.L. Frenchhas worked on some of the most importantsite projects in the Greater Boston area. Thecompany recently celebrated its 40thanniversary.The company specializes in commercial
site development — including mass excava-tion, site remediation, heavy utility installa-tion and other related construction services.They also specialize in transporting con-struction soils and materials and are licensedto transport hazardous waste.Over the past four decades W.L. French
has grown exponentially — being recog-nized for its growth by Inc. magazine as oneof the Top 5,000 fastest-growing, privately-owned businesses in America and by theBoston Business Journal as one of the Top100 fastest-growing, privately-owned busi-nesses in Massachusetts in 2009 and 2010. In an effort to increase market share and
its client base the company has diversifiedand focused on new revenue streams. In2008, W. L. French obtained its license to
Founder Bill French Sr. (L), and son Bill French Jr.

transport hazardous waste. With this license the companycan now completely service clients by hauling all encoun-tered materials/soils off site without limitation.In recent years, the company made a decision to utilize
heavy equipment and trucks more effectively during thewinter months. A business plan was established to bid moreaggressively to earn work related to the snow. Today, thecompany boasts a large snow services division, whichincludes plowing, snow removal and transportation anddelivery of sand, salt and custom mixes.

French was ranked 35th in North America forsnow revenues by Snow Magazine. Bill French Jr. — thesecond generation running the company — was nominatedas the 2010-2011 CEO of the Year by Snow BusinessMagazine. Today, W.L. French operates one of the largest construc-
tion transportation fleets in the metropolitan Boston area.Other diversification includes processing aggregates in-house, and utilizing screeners/crushers, which create othercommodities for the trucks to haul and sell.

Pristine EquipmentSuch projects are the result of an outstanding reputation,
great employees and the best equipment on the road.
“Our company stands out in several different ways. Theequipment, how it’s maintained and how it is kept is some-thing that the company stands out for,” said Bill French Sr.“The company stands behind keeping pristine equipmentand is known for doing so. In fact, in 2011, a piece of equip-ment, which was 16 years old, sold for approximately thesame price it was purchased for. Employees are subjected tohigh standards and know that these standards are required tomaintain employment.”
Safety Is Paramount“Working in an industry that has obvious dangers every
day it is important to constantly and consistently remindemployees through meetings, training, refresher training andconstant communication of project hazards and every dayhazards in general,” said Bill French Sr. “Working in anydangerous industry means staff can become immune to theeveryday hazard.”Vice President, Tom Dion added “Working diligently on
hazardous communication, safety awareness, continuingeducation and putting safety at the forefront is of the utmostimportance. No project can be completely successful if thereis an accident and the goal at W. L. French ExcavatingCorporation is to have zero accidents on every project itencounters.”
All in the FamilyW. L. French has been nominated for Massachusetts
Family Business of the Year two years in a row by theMassachusetts Family Business Association and by theNortheastern Center for Family Business. (2010 and 2011).The family has never existed without the company and the
company has never existed without the family. At somepoint, everyone in the family has contributed to the business

Craig Mosher Still Shaken byTragedy, Grateful He Helpedsaid Mosher. “I began working on my own,as a good neighbor ought to. I saw the fore-cast, not knowing it was going to be thattragic. It started raining and I started help-ing.”His own business and work yard was
under three inches of water. He and his men(many of whom trudged on foot from theirhomes to get to the heavy machinery) revvedup their excavators and backhoes and earthmovers and began, well, moving.“I saw trees, 24 inches in diameter, tipped
over,” he said. His own pasture — a local tourist attrac-
tion with livestock, including sheep and don-keys, sometimes called the Gateway toKillington — was washed out. “The Ottauquechee took five acres from
my pasture, from this little hobby of mine,”said Mosher. Their first stop on the road that awful day
was to a next-door neighbor’s ski shop. “I tried to save that. I got a call, ‘Craig, we
need your help.’ After that, the phones cutout,” Mosher said.On Monday morning, Mosher and crew
jumped into a bucket loader and headed outin all directions. They had to open a laneclogged by gravel berms at Calvert Crossingin order to head south.He then headed east on Route 4, a major
artery out of Killington, where people weretrapped by the flooding. At BridgewaterCorner, some 5 to 6 mi. out, he managed toget another lane open.The work never ended. A mile south on
Route 100, the road also was washed out.Parts of Route 4, Main Street and the south-west corridor also were gone.Digging for several days straight and
removing concrete rubble that had once beenhighway, Mosher was able to open closedroads and get resort guests out of Killington.Mosher and fellow contractors got trafficgoing in a week by moving their heavymachinery wherever they were called, site tosite, job to job, from 10 to 30 mi. out.He recalled a state official, deferring to his
experience, telling him, “Craig, you knowwhat to do, get to work.”
Even Changing the RiverBeyond clearing rubble and opening
roads and highways, Mosher Excavatingwas called to change the track of the veryriver itself.“We got down into the riverbed and put it
into its course,” said Mosher. “About 4,500yards, back on course. Then, we put theroads back together.”
The state came in and the joint effort hadRoute 4 open within 36 hours. His work,along with some other contractors, madenational news. “The [Boston] Globe wrote about it. You
know, Killington is a resort. People vacationin Killington. It got out that the guy who wasrunning the job was Mosher, so we got thisink,” he said, “But we’re not heroes. It waspart-time work. We were just trying to do theright thing. We were paid for our efforts. Thereal tragedies are with those who lost theirhomes.”He is still shaken by the tragedy of
Hurricane Irene — the loss of four lives andthe many, many neighbors who lost every-thing.“It was tragic. The lost homes,” said
Mosher. “I pulled into this driveway andasked this man, ‘Can I help you?’ Half of hishouse went down the river and the other halfwas hanging over the riverbank. Three dayshad passed since the storm and he said, ‘Ifound my dog’s dish.’ I almost broke down.”He again cited the Cassella Brothers,
Markowski, and the others lauded by theGovernor, as well as Albon Construction andRay Harvey in Rochester. “Working in the river wears things out and
it raises hell with iron,” said Mosher. Still, heis eternally grateful.Beyond the praise and the tragedy,
Mosher cited a great good that came fromthe storm in the form of 10 weeks of contin-uous clean up and rebuilding work for virtu-ally every heavy iron operating contractor inand around the state.“You talk about a stimulus package for
two-and-a-half months,” laughed Mosher.“Contractors were on banana peels, on theedge of the industry, about to sell out. Thisallowed them to stay in business.”There was another good that resulted from
the storm. The Natural ResourcesConservation Services, a branch of the fed-eral government’s Department ofAgriculture, shared its grant with local fami-lies, farmers, and land and home owners,showing them how to protect their propertyfrom similar storms, going forward.“River scientists for years have been try-
ing to control the Mississippi,” said Mosher.“In 1973, that was the last flooding aroundhere, but it wasn’t anything close to Irene.That tough storm taught everyone a lot uphere.”For more information, visit

Creative Social NetworkingBrings Traffic to Company and/or worked there.Bill French, Jr. has been the person most
responsible for expansion. Having a stablefoundation to build on, he has been able totake the company to the next level. Bill hassurrounded himself with a great team —hard-working employees who have con-tributed to the controlled, steady growth. “Bill’s aggressive enthusiasm and his
demanding nature have been the drivingforce for the company’s diversification andsuccess over the last 10 to 12 years,” said hisfather, Bill French Sr. “Seeking, finding and taking advantage of
each opportunity, not just as a singularopportunity, but building off it and making itinto something lasting has been a contribut-ing factor to the company’s success,” saidBill French Jr.Through recessions, the company has
“gone nautical,” to coin a phrase. “Pulling in the reels, tightening the ship,
and hunkering down is what you have to doin order to pull through the recession,” saidBill French, Jr. “Focusing on what you cando best and not straying from your ‘wheel-house’ during difficult times is equally asimportant.”In addition, W.L. French focused on
working for the most stable clients. Equallyimportant were vendors/subcontractors whoworked with them during times when cashflow was difficult. Open communication,planning, keeping an even closer watch onproduction, costs, etc. were additional waysto weather the storm. “A lot of family support, as always,
helped,” said the CEO.
The Social NetworkW.L. French also has made best use of the
web. Most construction companies have astandard website listing who they are, a briefhistory, the services they offer, contact infor-mation and the like, perhaps with photos ofvarious projects.But French has a blogger with almost
daily updates. They are on Facebook andTwitter, the most instant ways to immediate-ly reach people in the digital age.Whether the company is posting a career
opportunity or sharing photos and videoswith those who are interested, the effect isimmediate and far reaching. Information issent directly to their audience, rather thanwaiting for their audience to visit their web-site. The visuals have proven to be mosteffective, heightening the interactionsbetween people who like to see the trucks inaction, the site work performed and the
sights and sounds of major projects. Traffichas increased due to social media, rather thanjust a one-dimensional website.But machines, trucks, equipment, com-
puters, are all things. It is W.L. French’shuman component that really makes the dif-ference.“The success of the company would not
be possible without the great team ofemployees. There is a core group of peoplethat have been with us a long time,” said BillFrench, Jr.Several operators, including Ken Hand
and David Hilbrunner, have been with thecompany for more than 20 years. Low-beddriver Scott Robbins also has been with thecompany 20-plus years. Project ManagerJon Shattuck started his employment as anintern. Some employees were present when the
business started — such as maintenancesupervisor Mike Pacitto — who left for sev-eral years, and returned to manage the shop.Vice President Tom Dion’s first job out ofcollege was with W. L. French. He left forseveral years to experience other firms andultimately returned in 2003 after being per-suaded by Bill French Sr.The company marked its well-earned 40th
anniversary with a small celebration amongclose friends, family and those who havebeen a part of the company’s success, includ-ing Bill French Sr.’s brother Frank. “There is no major company celebration,”
said Bill French Jr. “However, we want tomark this anniversary as it is truly anachievement for the business and for ourfamily. This company is not finished gettingto where we are going but we want toacknowledge what has been accomplished.Celebrating forty years in business meansreflecting on both the good times and the dif-ficult times and learning from all of ourexperiences.“How did we get to this point? Where
were our mistakes? How can we strive to bebetter? We are slowly coming out of a reces-sion and I know the team we have in place,both internally and externally, will helpensure continued success,” he added. “Butnothing is guaranteed without hard work. So,celebrate this occasion we will. And then, itis back to work, so we can make it to the nextbenchmark.”For more information, visit
